AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn will waste no time jumping into the conference schedule in 2014.

The Tigers will host Arkansas to open the 2014 season on Aug. 30, the SEC announced today. Auburn will also hit the road to face its two biggest rivals -- Georgia and Alabama -- for the first time in school history.

Auburn has not opened a season against an SEC opponent since 1995, when the Tigers knocked off Ole Miss 46-13 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Auburn is scheduled to travel to Georgia and Alabama for its last two SEC games of the season. The scheduling change was expected. Auburn hosts the two schools for the first time in school history this season, a result of a small hiccup in schedule rotations following the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M to the SEC in 2012.

The Tigers will host South Carolina on Oct. 25.

Georgia remains as Auburn's permanent opponent under the SEC's 6-1-1 schedule format. The Tigers play all six teams from the SEC West, Georgia from the East as the permanent rival and also rotates a game with the other six opponents in the Eastern Division.

Auburn is 9-1-1 against South Carolina.

Auburn must travel three times in the month of November, hosting only Texas A&M and Samford in the final month of the regular season.

Auburn's non-conference schedule is also set. The Tigers will host San Jose State on Sept. 6 and will travel to Kansas State on Sept. 20 after an open date. The Tigers host Louisiana Tech on Sept. 27 and Samford on Nov. 22, a one-week buffer between the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry and the Iron Bowl.

The trip to Kansas State is the first non-conference road game for Auburn since 2011. The Tigers are 0-5 in non-conference road games since 1998. They last defeated Virginia 28-17 on the road in the 1997 season opener.
